Describe two situations in which a company may use biometrics for authentication purpouses:
  • Whenever someone wants to access to a company, the company may have a finger print reader and grant them access if they are indeed part of the company.
  • When people in a company access to a really important document that can only be viewed by someone in specific, the computer may ask for a password using a voice recognition and if the voice matches, the person will be able to read the document.
  • If a company saves important "physical" information in a specifc area an iris recognition device could be used in order to grant access to this area to predetermined people

Distinguish 3 similarities between the use of biometrics and a login:
  • Both of them are used for authentication purposes.
  • They need to be enroled so the computer can grant them access.
  • They both need a input hardware for a computer to register the information.
  • Both use a "matching" part where the information entered should match with the information stored on the database/server
